Ode to the seven year old me
I said
Ode to the seven year old me
To the girl who was always ahead of her age, ahead of her time
Who managed to spot a rainbow on a dark stormy sky
Who learned self control before she could learn that angels didn't exist
before she could learn to fight her own demons
Her innocence flickered like a candle's flame
She dreamt of a future
of what she'd become when she grows up
She built a future through her starry eyed window through which she saw the world
If only I could go back in time
reverse the dates
and tell that little girl
something she longed for
something she never knew
"Everything is going to fall in place "
"You don't need to change your personality like a colour and turn your life into confetti just because people like to see you according to themselves"
"You are enough"
